Pierre Clastres

I really admire to Pierre Clatres. He is a important person in the field of antrophology and philosophy, but specifically He is best known for his contributions to the field of political anthropology. He is famous for writing about the power in the human history. He was born in France in 1934 and studied philosophy and then studied anthropology. Where he was being assistant Claude Levi Strauss

His most famous book is "Society against the State" where he tries to describe the other kind to understand the idea of “power” in societies without States. One of the most important things he has done is to change the central place the idea of "State" in studies of human political history against the idea of political evolution that prevailed in academic research. I've also contributed to study the small communities of the Amazon, where the political area was more important than economic and the people were different logical for political activity that given today. I like Clastres because he considered other ways of doing and understanding politics and war in other  communities.
